If you are caring for an aging parent or loved one, you’ve probably asked yourself “what is home care?”. At Visiting Angels^® Chicago, our home care services provide companion care and personal care for seniors that want to continue living in their own homes, but need assistance. Our years of experience and commitment to excellence have made us a trusted care provider for seniors and their families throughout the northwest side of Chicago, including Niles, Morton Grove, Lincolnwood, Golf, and the surrounding suburbs.

Home care typically involves a professional caregiver providing various services in the home of a client. This type of care is a great option for seniors who want to age in place rather than moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. If you are considering in-home care for a loved one, it is important to find a local care provider that can meet your loved one's needs in a compassionate and trustworthy way.

Trusted Home Care in Chicago

At Visiting Angels Chicago, we understand that home care is a new experience for many families, and you may be filled with questions. Will my loved one feel comfortable with a home care provider? How does scheduling work? What if my loved one’s needs change? We are here to help and will take the time to answer any questions you and your loved one might have to make the process as smooth and worry-free as possible. We’ll spend time getting to know the unique circumstances of your loved one and family, and design a care program that meets every need.

Home care services from Visiting Angels Chicago help families in the Chicagoland area in many ways, including:

• Consulting with you and your loved one to discuss needs with no obligation to begin care

We make it easy to get started on your journey with our care. Your first step is to contact us and schedule a free care consultation.

One of our care coordinators will conduct the meeting and ask simple questions about your loved one's care needs, preferences, and daily routines. We are also happy to answer any questions you have about our care at this time and give you ample information about our care as well. Starting your journey in this way can help you feel informed and more confident about your loved one's ability to age in place.
